The Department of African & African American Studies has a diversified and strong undergraduate program. We hope to expand the number of students whom we teach and graduate as majors. 

African & African American Studies has in recent years participated in the Masters of Arts in the Humanities degree program. In the near future African & African American Studies will develop its own Masters of Arts degree program. This will fill a major void, because of the scarcity of programs at the graduate level in New York and nationwide. 

The Department of African & African American Studies is one of UB's most important departments that are devoted to curricular programs concerning areas that are historically disadvantaged, underprivileged, and underserved. Consequently, this Department has an obligation to help the rest of the University to be sensitive to justice and equity issues as a way of realizing UB's mission goal. 

African & African American Studies plans to increase the national and international scholarly reputations of its faculty by supporting grantsmanship, research, and publishing opportunities.
